phil ochs - there but for fortune (studio) lyrics
[verse 1]
show me a prison, show me a jail
show me a prison man whose face is growing pale
and i’ll show you a young man with many reasons why
and there but for fortune may go you or i
[verse 2]
show me an alley, show me a train
show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain
and i’ll show you a young man with many reasons why
and there but for fortune may go you or i
[verse 3]
show me the whiskey that stains on the floor
show me a drunken man as he stumbles out the door
and i’ll show you a young man with many reasons why
and there but for fortune may go you or i
[verse 4]
show me a country where the bombs had to fall
show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
and i’ll show you a young land with so many reasons why
and there but for fortune may go you or i, or i
